Network ownership forced to server is being set back to nearest client

Hi all,
I have a skiing game that relies heavily on parts being set on the server, but for some reason, they keep getting set back to the client when near the player. I loop through the entire model to ensure they are set to the server, but it seems it still does not work. I have reverted to the following code which is awful because I am running the function every heartbeat which is obviously is not good. Is this a roblox bug or am I doing something wrong? https://gyazo.com/22edf63becfb1df724c22ac6ea5e42ca (watch the output)

local RS = game:GetService("RunService")
local liftdirectory = game.Workspace:WaitForChild("LineRopes")
local parts = {}

function grabParts()
    for i,v in pairs(script.Parent:GetDescendants()) do
        if v:IsA("BasePart") or v:IsA("UnionOperation") or v:IsA("MeshPart") or v:IsA("Seat") then
            table.insert(parts,v)
        end
    end
end

wait(2)
grabParts()

function SetNetworkOwner()
    for i,v in pairs(parts) do
        if not v.Anchored then
            pcall(function() if v:GetNetworkOwner() ~= nil then print(v:GetNetworkOwner()) v:SetNetworkOwner(nil) print(v.Name) print("Set to nil") end end)
        end
    end
end

SetNetworkOwner()

RS.Heartbeat:Connect(function()
    if liftdirectory.CurrentSpeed.Value ~= 0 then
        SetNetworkOwner()
    end
end)

Is this a localscript or a serverscript?

Yeah, Is this a local script or a serverscript? it can make a difference.

#4

Server script, of course. Could it be because not all parts are loaded in when I grab them 2 seconds after the script loads?

U didn’t have to have all those or operators checking if it is a BasePart, u only need Instance:IsA("BasePart") since all parts inherit from BasePart

Yes, I realized that but that makes no difference. It is just redundant so it wont negatively affect it.

#7

When doing SetNetworkOwner(nil), the server is controlling it. It shouldn’t change automatically unless you do it (?)

Doesn’t make sense, unless this page does (I did not read it fully).

#8

That is why I am thinking that I should wait more before grabbing parts. I think I might have it check every 5 seconds until the # of parts does not change. Then end it

#9

I don’t see anything wrong in the Script. Could be a Roblox bug.

#10

Yes I double checked and it grabs every part in the model properly, so I am thinking it is a bug.

Does the Pcall return any Errors?

Also is everything unanchored as @Syclya said

#13

Yes it is saying something is anchored even though I am positive everything is not anchored (the parts are moving so clearly not anchored)

#14

If parts are moving that doesn’t mean its anchored. Is there any welds in the model?

#15

Try this.

local Location = game:GetService("Workspace").Folder:GetChildren() -- wherever they are

for i = 1, #Location do
	Location[i].Anchored = false
end

Just to make sure ( . . . )

#16

Try printing part:IsGrounded() to see if the part is connected to anything that is Anchored

#17

Nope it says false. Whenever I approach the model the heartbeat loop says some random part is owned by me and so it forces it back to server. I do not want to have to run a heartbeat loop because it is expensive so I don’t know why it is reverting

#18

Everything is unanchored now. It was a lone model but that did not affect anything so something else is causing it. Maybe a roblox bug?

#19

Submit a bug report here if you believe so: https://www.roblox.com/support

Ok it appears to happen when I sit on the model, so it is fine that I set it to server, but when I get up from the seat every few seconds it still says a lone part is opened by my character and resets it to server.
